Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A telecommunications device comprising: networking hardware adapted to provide data communications over a network; a first server that utilizes the networking hardware to provide a user interface to a user terminal connected to the network; at least a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) switch adapted to utilize the networking hardware to support a VoIP call over the network in response to call requests originating from the first server; a storage system including a database containing user-specific data for a plurality of users and a database application program, said storage system adapted to receive first call-related data from the VoIP switch, provide corresponding first call-related data to the first server, and associate in the database first call-related data of a user with corresponding user-specific data for that user; and a second server that utilizes the networking hardware to obtain second call-related data from a carrier of non-VoIP calls and provide corresponding call-related data to the storage system; and wherein the user interface is adapted to present on the user terminal at least a portion of the user-specific data and at least a portion of each of the corresponding first and second call-related data.
2. The device of claim 1 further comprising a communications framework adapted to interface the storage system with the at least one VoIP switch, wherein the communications framework obtains call requests from the first server and submits corresponding call commands to the VoIP switch.
3. The device of claim 2 wherein the call requests originate from the first server and are stored in the storage system.
4. The device of claim 1 wherein the first server is a web server, and the user interface is a graphical user interface provided by a webpage maintained by the web server.
5. The device of claim 1 wherein the second server is a web-service application adapted to communicatively interface with a server of the carrier.
6. The device of claim 5 wherein the second server employs the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) protocol to communicatively interface with the server of the carrier.
7. The device of claim 6 wherein the carrier is at least one of a GSM, UMTS or PSTN communications network.
8. The device of anyone of claim 1 further comprising: at least a central processing unit (CPU) capable of controlling the networking hardware; and memory comprising program code executable CPU to provide the first server, the second server, and the at least a VoIP switch.
9. A telecommunications device comprising: networking hardware adapted to provide data communications over a network; a first server that utilizes the networking hardware to provide a user interface to a user terminal connected to the network; at least a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) switch adapted to utilize the networking hardware to support a VoIP call over the network in response to call requests originating from the first server, said VoIP switch generating first call related data; a second server that utilizes the networking hardware to obtain second call-related data from at least a telecommunications carrier of mobile devices; a storage system including a database containing user-specific data for a plurality of users and a database application program, said storage system adapted to receive said first call-related data from the VoIP switch, receive said second call-related data from the second server, provide corresponding first and second call-related data to the first server, and to associate in the database the first and second call-related data of a user with corresponding user-specific data for that user; and wherein the user interface is adapted to present on the user terminal at least a portion of the user-specific data and at least a portion of the corresponding first and second call-related data, including call related data derived from the VoIP switch and call-related data derived from the telecommunications carrier of mobile devices.
10. The telecommunications device of claim 9 , wherein the telecommunications carrier is a cellular network carrier.
